There were a number of scattered strong spots. The brightening business pic ture, brokers said, still was the main speculative inspiration for those who continue to nourish the Idea that at least a minor In flationary shift may be witnessed sooner or later as the outflow of government money begins to seep Into numerous lines of In dustry. Transfers for the full proceedings were around 730 000 shares. In the stock division, Louis ville Sc Nashville edged Into new high territory for the past year.

"If congress International Farm Group Views Satisfactory Winter Wheat Crop for Europeans By ELEANOR PACKARD ROME, Jan. 10 (U.P.) The 1941 European winter wheat crop which is vital to axis prose cution of the war gives every indication of being satisfactory, according to an international institution of agricultural survey issued here Wednesday. Although none can foresee whether future weather condi tions will continue to be favor able for winter wheat, the sur vey shows planting conditions generally are good with the ex ception of a few localities. Regarding Rumania, one of Europe's biggest wheat produc ers, the institute said acreage sown in winter cereals is 20 per cent higher than last year. The Rumanian government is said to have taken extraordinary care to see that all available land was sown in wheat and to have supervised the sowing. By Nov. 30, 1940, the institute said, 95.8 per cent of the envisaged 5,659, 000 bushels already had been sown and progress was being made with the remaining seed ing. Parts of Hungary have been less fortunate where rains and floods either prevented plant ing or damaged seeds already sown. In most of the winter wheat sections, acreage sown Is from 15 to 30 per cent less than last year and in five districts reduction Is from 30 to 60 per cent.

The institute predicts a heavy Increase in unmarketable wheat surpluses In big non-European wheat producing countries such as the United States, Argentina and Australia. Cut off from their normal mar kets in Europe, these three coun tries will be obliged to store large portions of their 1940 crop on top of large surpluses already on hand. The institute estimated that nearly half of Argentina's wheat crop will be carried over as surplus. Europe with the exception of England, it was said, offers no market because of war condi tions. The United States 1940 wheat crop also is considerably above the average 14 per cent with 817,000,000 bushels, compared to a normal internal consumption of 685,000,000 bushels, the in-, stitute said. Of this it is esti mated it will be possible to ex port only 22,000,000 bushels. Ac cording to institute figures, the United States already has a very heavy surplus stock of 300,000, 000 bushels and lt is predicted that this surplus will have grown to 415,000,000 bushels by July 1, 1941. The Institute survey added that although lt has not received ofXlc'al estimates of Australia'! crop, It Is considered an estimate of 92.000,000 bushels given by the Australian government to the press may prove conservative.
